Project Consulting & Troubleshooting
Taking a project from a small-scale maquette to a permanent public installation requires more than just artistic vision, it requires technical strategy. I offer professional consulting services to help artists, municipalities, and private clients navigate the logistics of large-scale sculpture, material selection, and structural integrity.
Material Strategy: Advising on durability and maintenance for outdoor environments (Bronze, Steel, Composite).
Scaling & Enlargement: Technical guidance on moving from small models to monumental scale.
Installation Logistics: Troubleshooting mounting, hardware, and site-specific placement.
Foundry Liaison: Acting as a technical intermediary between the artist and the foundry to ensure quality and budget control.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute introductory call to determine if your project is a fit for my expertise. For deep-dive technical reviews, site visits, or RFP strategy, my consulting rate is $125/hour. Please fill out the form below to schedule your intro call.
